Who knew a retired Virgin hot air balloon could look so good?

We’re all for recycling, actually it’s called upcycling and seeing the Autumn/Winter 09 collection from ‘Worn Again’ makes us want to go completely green.

Whereas ‘Freitag’ have made a great success from old truck tarpaulins, used seat belts and cycle inner tubes, ‘Worn Again’ work with Virgin Atlantic, Eurostar and Virgin Balloon Flight, making products from their disused materials.

It’s estimated that over 1 million tones of textiles are thrown away every year in the UK alone. If only there were more companies like ‘Worn Again’, who turn waste into something so good.

We love it! What a great concept and we wonder what the next collection brings.
